Abstract: This article examines the complementary effects of relational dissimilarity and group faultlines through a multi-level analysis of diversity. Results indicate that ethnic dissimilarity and team faultlines were generally negatively associated with any intentions to work with team or group members on future endeavors. Further article topics include diversity of the individual and team level, and the integration of relational dissimilarity and team diversity research and literature for contextual purposes.
